Red Carpet Ready Hair

I guess I’m a little too literal but I always thought that my GHD flat iron was for one specific use:  straightening.  It’s in the name.  So I have my seperate curling irons for when I want to curl my hair and I use my GHD hair straightener for everyday straightening.  It seemed logical to me.  Until I saw this picture of Amanda Seyfried looking lovely with straightened locks that had a beautiful curl at the tips.  My first thought was that I’d have to straighten my hair all over and then have my curling iron ready to go so I could curl it on the ends.  And then I got frustrated with the idea of plugging in all of those appliances and thought, Who am I kidding?  Amanda has stylists on call!  I can’t get that look!

….And then I looked at my hair straightener and thought, It’s kind of rounded around the edges.  I wonder what would happen if I just used it like a curling iron?  Wrap the section around and curl the ends after I straighten from the root?

I’ll tell you what happened.  I got red carpet ready hair by using only one tool.  Take that, Hollywood stylists!  All I need is my GHD hair straightener to make movie magic happen!
